DISCLAIMER: If anyone would like to use these numbers or decides to post them, please post back as to where you received them from. As these were very hard to get, it’s taken me years and years to get a reputation, and to see it plagiarized is a real slap in the face to people like myself. So PLEASE link back, and give credit where credit is due, do not blatantly copy my numbers. Thank you, Jason Hurley.
